My name is Betty Ann Taylor Richard. I was born and raised in Arnaudville. My parents were Welzie and Anna Schexnayder Taylor. The last home I can remember was on Ti-Adam Guidry Road on the corner where there use to be a big oak tree that grew in the middle of the lane. I remember pretty well when Nonco would appear at our house. He usually had his hat on and also his dog. Sometimes, he would carry his dog because his little dog would get tired. Usually, we would sit on the end of the porch and he would visit and talk about the leaflet that he would give us. Yes, today, we all wish we would have paid more attention to him and have shown him more thankfulness. I wish I would have; but, when you are young, you don't think that way. I hope all that the people are doing in Arnaudville will be successful and Nonco will be canonized. It would be wonderful. Thank you! P.S.: My little brother is Henry Charles Taylor, the Nonco Foundation Treasurer.
I had kidney disease and it led to having 17 stones that generated a lot of pain and suffering. With the help of various doctors, mainly at emergency rooms, the medicines and procedures resolved this problem. The doctors told me that the damage to my kidneys was done. I would never be the same. My kidneys were not functioning normally. Favor Requested: I prayed for Nonco to intercede. That was my only hope to pray to him. I immediately started feeling better. My condition greatly improved. I set up an appointment with my doctor and we were both shocked when tests results showed my kidney function was normal. Favor Received: There is no doubt, Nonco, thru his intercession, remedied my kidney medical problems and got the kidneys to heal and to perform normally. I continue to pray to Nonco, a SERVANT OF GOD, to help with a long list of medical problems I continue to have. I will be willing to put all of this in the form of an affidavit, have it notarized and tell my story to the Pastor of Arnaudville.
